man, almost 30 years ago, we are all old, l.o.l, so cool to watch,the show before was in montréal.i still got my t-shirt, the sound is not bad, keep it up, justin,🤘🤘🤘
Being a drummer, bass player and guitarist makes watching Rush a complete fantasy brain fuck to me. It makes me so sad that we lost Niel and consequently Rush. Some bands can replace a band member like The Who when Keith died, but there is no replacement for Niel. Great reaction dude. ✌️♥️🇬🇧
@@scottzappa9314 agreed. The one big surprise I got was when queen managed to find a replacement for Freddie. I thought it was impossible but they found Adam Lambert. Imo a better vocalists than Freddie with a bigger range. Freddie had his very unique style and tones that can't be emulated and Adam never tried to do so. So this is queen 2.0. Well done I say.
Hemispheres was originally recorded too high to begin with. But they knew we would want to hear it occasionally so they were gracious enough to throw it in every now and then. I’m happy they did.
This was the first tour I saw and my first exposure to rush. I loved seeing the bunnies again! The counterpart tour was so great, I recommend watching the whole show even if you just do it on your own time
This was the one medley section of the show, so yes no time for clapping haha, the rest of the show was standard, and you are correct Neil broke a stick, by the sounds of it, probably cracked the mic with it!
Yeah, I remember him having a lot of vocal issues towards the end of that tour. So much so, he started vocal lessons with an opera singer from what I remember. On the next tour (TEST FOR ECHO) he sounded amazing...
They would start doing less and less consecutive nights to allow his voice time to heal and recuperate. By Time Machine in 2010 I don’t think they played ANY consecutive dates AND besides altering his diet, he had a almost zero speech regimen to preserve his voice for every show. Now if that ain’t professional then nothing else is.🤯🤘🖖✌️🎸🎤🎤🥁🎹
I was there! Somewhere up in the purples. I remember the screen glitching in the intro and Alex plea for hockey the following week (the Leafs were in the playoffs). I Mother Earth was a great opener.
I remember Geddy saying in an interview once that they had recorded the music to Hemispheres before the vocals and then when they came back to record the vocals, the key they had chosen was at the absolute top of Geddy's range and in hindsight, he wished that they had stepped the music down a bit. Since studio time was so limited back Rush's beginning, they couldn't re-record the music, so he was stuck with the high notes for life!
wow nice throwback. This tour was my first Rush concert (Anaheim), and I had no clue what the setlist would be, but was guessing it would be all the 80s and 90s stuff based on my only point of reference which was Show of Hands. How much was I over the MOON when they busted out this section of the show.... indescribable feeling.
Most of my 24 RUSH shows were in Toronto, they always added extra improvisations extra drum solos, ECT..... When the boys came home, it was an EVENT Thanks for the Awesome memories Justin
I can agree with that. I've seen all rush shows since their Presto tour. I remember that one the most because it was at Maple leaf gardens and the tragically hip opened for them. I think it was their next tour where they dropped opening acts and did 3 hours of rush awesomeness!!
@@paulwilson392 That's awesome, yes great memories, approximately 14 of my shows were between 74 and 82, yes I am a dinosaur, but with UNFORGETTABLE memories lol
1:34 pm . Enjoy your channel. I am musician guitarist lead, rhythm, bass, drums, keys toured in the 90’s and still record country, blues and rock. RUSH is one of my all time favorites! Music was real mixed with the best of the best technology! Keep it up being you man! I’m like you in a lot musician personalities lol😂! Thanks again! Love SRV had the honor of meeting and jamming with him! Take care! 😊🎼🇺🇸☀️from AZ🙏
I saw this tour in Cincinnati, and when Alex pulled out the double neck everyone got excited. But the input jack (or something) wasn’t working. He had to chuck it and grab his PRS.
Remember in birmingham uk alex broke a string during tom sawyer solo, guitar tech ran on gave him another guitar and he still had time to finish the solo!
I had the full show of this on video a while ago when I used to trade with an old online community. This was one of the best available bootleg shows out there. Whoever did this back in the early/mid 90’s was a master of piecing together video clips and syncing the audio.
The full show was actually just featuring the lower quality angle which cut out and was blocked about 50% of the time, while trying to come up with some sort of solution to this I noticed that a recent NY show had them wearing essentially the same outfits so I figured why not fill in the gaps with that? Getting it all synced up was an ordeal to say the least, but I am glad I went through with it! Cant let sound quality like that go to waste!
One of their best combo/medleys-saw this opening night Jan 22, 1994 in Pensacola Florida and the second night in NOLA on the 23rd. Alex had a guitar snafu when they transitioned into Tom Sawyer on the second night-didn’t work AT ALL for like a minute into the song-😳Geddy and Neil just kept playing until it finally came back🤯sounded odd but never missed a beat😂🤘🖖✌️🎸🥁🎹🎤
What a great video. So what is making that Bass sound so close (grungy bark) to the old Rickenbacker? Is it in processing or physical playing techniques JP? Whatever it was it sounds cool.
Rickenbacker is pretty grinding sounding and a Fender Jazz bass can have a bit of grind or growl to it also. Not as much as a rick, but it can get it depending on the volume/tone settings and how youre playing it.
Nice, especially since this is one of the few tours that was never officially documented. The video was obviously compiled from different seat views across different nights, but a good job was done editing it all together. It does seem like there were some technical snafus, and Geddy seems to be looking toward the exits from the get-go, but with a wife back home about to burst who can blame him?
I wonder if the dogs are barking at the end of "The Trees" because they're upset that all the trees have been cut down and there's nowhere for them to do their business.
Justin, having been to over 100 Rush concerts, the audience goes wild when the show starts, then kinda settles to take it all in...If you're jumping up and down and cheering...you miss the show! Also the last 20 years of Rush concerts, there was NO opening act. They divided the concert into 2 parts...a well-deserved intermission for the fans and I'm sure for the Band as well...
This is a real back in the day bootleg. Audio weirdness due to tape dropouts or someone getting the tape too close to a magnet or whatever was common on those. The fact that they synced audio and video from entirely separate shows without any modern computer tricks and you can't tell most of the time shows how precise they were live.
Geddy could barely sing the way he did on Hemispheres when they recorded it. Still trying it here 20 years later, though. The fans don't mind if he can't quite hit those high notes anymore.
The twenty times ive seen Rush they delivered every time.
I saw this tour in Jacksonville on March 2, 1994. My friends and I were 7th row, just to the right of Alex. It was awesome!! ✌🎼😍
"catch the spirit, catch a fish"
I don’t know how I missed this one!! Shoutout to @stickhits, great job!! Glad to see you enjoyed!! Be well and God bless… from Texas!!
man, almost 30 years ago, we are all old, l.o.l, so cool to watch,the show before was in montréal.i still got my t-shirt, the sound is not bad, keep it up, justin,🤘🤘🤘
I needed this. The Great drumming ad guitars

I never thought of that comparison. Some times another will not do and the band is done. Also such as John Bonham.
Same here, play all three instruments so such joy listening to rush

Its Neil and too true.
I was at that concert, 12th row back centre stage!! Actually I just washed my t-shirt from that concert yesterday. lol
That made my day. Thanks for this.
Saw Rush at least 15 times between 1982 and 2015. Awesome in every way. The music and stage show, nothing else comes close.
Hemispheres was originally recorded too high to begin with. But they knew we would want to hear it occasionally so they were gracious enough to throw it in every now and then. I’m happy they did.
I was there that night on the last night of their Counterparts tour,having travelled from the uk for four of the final gigs on that outing.
This was the first tour I saw and my first exposure to rush. I loved seeing the bunnies again! The counterpart tour was so great, I recommend watching the whole show even if you just do it on your own time
Hemispheres rocked and still does. :)
I was at this show, first of the 8 times I saw them live. It was spectacularly great - Analog Kid especially.
That was excellent! Stick Hits is fantastic! Catch the spirit catch the fish. LOL
Thanks Debbie! I appreciate the kind words.
Grateful I got to see them 10X

Rush "LIVE" enough said, I'm in. Wish the quality was better, but I'll take it. Awesome set from the boys!

The power and precision Neil played with. The stuff of legends. Once again, the Ludwig kit just destroys all his other kits as far as LIVE sound.
Saw this tour in Pensacola. I think Candlebox opened for them there.
Most of my 24 RUSH shows were in Toronto, they always added extra improvisations extra drum solos, ECT.....
When the boys came home, it was an EVENT
Thanks for the Awesome memories Justin

@@ResilientOne2112 well you do have a few years on me. Your first rush concert was 2 years after I was born. 😁
4 great songs,seeing it live was sooo good
Can't wait for vapour trails !!!

Hemispheres is fantastic however you hear it!
Today I am mostly listening to Hold Your Fire. Has it pulled you back in yet? 🙃
Nice, especially since this is one of the few tours that was never officially documented. The video was obviously compiled from different seat views across different nights, but a good job was done editing it all together. It does seem like there were some technical snafus, and Geddy seems to be looking toward the exits from the get-go, but with a wife back home about to burst who can blame him?
------BOSTON------
They did 2112 completely on the Test for Echo tour, one set then intermission then 2112.
Drives mad when the video audio is off.
I wonder if the dogs are barking at the end of "The Trees" because they're upset that all the trees have been cut down and there's nowhere for them to do their business.

Have you watched Beyond the Lighted Stage yet?
no that will be after i'm done with the discography
Plus it's outside
I was at this show.
This sounds really compressed for a live performance.
This is a real back in the day bootleg. Audio weirdness due to tape dropouts or someone getting the tape too close to a magnet or whatever was common on those. The fact that they synced audio and video from entirely separate shows without any modern computer tricks and you can't tell most of the time shows how precise they were live.
I actually synced the additional left side angle in here, but the rest of the lower-res footage is the actual audio from the same show!
Any idea why Alex is pushing his guitar forward after some sustained chord?
all kinds of reasons. Help it ring it. Guitarists often do this in front of their amps for feedback. Also just cause how it looks.
@@JustinPanariello What I assumed, thanks. I guess I don't crank it up enough at home for it to have any audible effect. But I do look cool !
Justin, why did you stop watching Rush albums? Man... It was better than any show on television
He’s taking a break in January. Starts back up in February
^^^This is why! It was suggested to me to take a break when Rush took a break, before Vapor Trails. It'll be back in Feb.
@@JustinPanariello LOL! Nice!! Big hug from Brazil! In the meantime, I'll be waiting for the new videos in february
Kind of like a sober January, but with Rush albums instead of booze
Geddy could barely sing the way he did on Hemispheres when they recorded it. Still trying it here 20 years later, though. The fans don't mind if he can't quite hit those high notes anymore.
I know a lot of work went into making this video but it's still pretty much potato quality imo. And Geddy's vocals.....yikes.
At least watch the raw upload before criticizing dude, its at 60fps and is the best available audio + video recording from the era
Quel batteur ,irremplaçable.
